Meet the team
People driven by scientific curiosity, interdisciplinary openness, and the aspiration to make the world a more sustainable and just place
Over 50 members from various disciplines (geography, spatial planning, architecture, urban design, sociology, political sciences, economics, law, anthropology, and others) bring in a large variety of geographical and educational backgrounds. This setting creates a particularly stimulating environment for research and teaching endeavours. We value critical thinking, plurality in research concepts and methods, and dialogues with all kinds of societal stakeholders.
